Multidirectional Screw Fixation in the Treatment of Distal Radius Fractures Using Angle-Stable Plates

Abstract

The treatment of distal radius fractures by the angle-stable locking plate system from the volar approach achieved comparable functional and radiographic outcomes with both rigid-direction screw insertion and multidirectional screw insertion.
